What are your absolute go-to options when you want a flavorful drink or a quick bite?Also, I just learned that whole fruit doesn't automatically mean a major sugar spike because the natural fiber slows it down! 🍓🍏 What are your favorite low-GI fruit combinations? Do you pair them with anything specific like nuts or yogurt?Drop your favorite snacks and drink hacks in the comments below! 👇

I love my zero sugar drink packets I get from Walmart to add to water. Or any zero sugar sodas / teas. For a sweet treat fix I like zero sugar candies. They make them from Reese’s, Hersheys and even Jolly Ranchers! As for whole foods, berries are low in sugars. Protein is going to be their best friend! Eggs are a great source, as is peanut butter, avocados, and protein powders as well. Cheeses are good too! Try to have your friend pair every snack / meal with some protein to help with sugar levels. 💜

@liberalcat13 and @chelsiegh Wow, thank you both for these great tips! LiberalCat13, love the hummus idea. Chelsiegh, the protein-pairing trick is perfect. I really care about this coworker—he was my instructor when I was an HVAC student, taught me the ropes, and never gave up on me when others did. I'm excited to share these snacks and drinks with him. Thanks for the inspiration!
